NW WA Meet / BS Thread

Good to know. I definitely need to get the kit and a replace the ball joints. Squeaky af

 

This is interesting

 

I'm going to shoot the perseids this weekend. Does anyone know of a secluded camping spot south of helens or rainier with a good view of the mountain?

 

Don’t you know one, dawg?

 

The one I know of doesnt have a line of sight to helens and the rest are far away

 

I know of a couple spots around Stampede with good views of Rainier, but that's not south.

 

I wanna go

 

The decor in the air Bnb we are in at Grayland is AWESOME!!!!

 

Going camping with my Bride and her family next weekend up at Deception Pass. Anyone know some mellow trails or FS Roads up there? I’d like some good views for a picture or two and to enjoy the scenery.

 

Anyone in the area want to make me an extension for my ditch light bracket? Trying to mount my cb antenna like the pic below.

@JimSnell maybe? I'll bring booze and money.

 

Sunday?

 

Yup. Morning or evening works for me.

 

Not sure if @Juforrest has any in stock but his ditch light mounts will accommodate a light and antenna:

 

Do you have light brackets already? That little plate would be easy to make. I do have a couple brackets made if you want to change out the whole thing.

 

Thanks dude!

Yup. Already have the brackets with Rigid pods on them, just looking for the extension plate.

 

I know how to do it but I was never able to get the tools to get the coils off and on or nitrogen charge. Those are the hard parts, beyond that it's pretty much just drain oil, replace seals, inspect for damage, refill oil and reassemble. If you want to re-valve that can be done at the same time but that's a whole science I'm not too smart on.

 

I'm pretty sure Deception Pass is a State Park so no FS roads. My buddy said there's a couple neat trails along the beach though.

 

I'm all set here guys, found an extension! Got super lucky. A buddy ended up with a set from Cali Raised and only used one, I scored the other fo' free

Thanks. Not familiar with the area. I’ll check it out and report back

 

Deception/cathedral pass are really scenic hikes! Just make sure you keep your pace up otherwise you will get eaten alive by bugs! Alpine lake swimming area halfway up makes a nice break spot!wildlife everywhere when I went up last month!
